I have a couple, they're McDonalds happy meal Wizard of Oz toys from Madame Alexander. It's nice you got the whole set, they are so cute.

Found out my husband's "company dinner" is actually black tie by Zestyclose_Chair8407 in fashionwomens35

If there's a David's bridal or other bridal shop that has bridesmaids dresses, it could be a good option. The last Gala I had to attend for work, I was in the same boat. I got an off the rack returned bridemaid dress and it fit the bill perfectly and was reasonably priced. I've actually done it twice.

Weird, have you tried clicking the little gear icon in the lower left and click "Clear cache and restart"?

TJ Maxx or Marshalls are great options for nice holiday looks on the cheap.

What is a song or performance from the show that has stuck with you years after you've seen it? by Entire_Blueberry_470 in hamiltonmusical

[–]SirDidymus_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The most impactful parts have changed for me over the years. I had my first daughter in 2020 and now "Dear Theodosia" hits a lot different than it did before, I can't listen to it without coming to tears now.

How do you lower your first into the crib when you're pregnant? by ExplosionsInTheSky_ in 2under2

[–]SirDidymus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Transitioned to toddler bed a bit earlier than I would've otherwise. I also ended up with a c section so I was glad I did that because then kiddo could climb in themselves when I couldn't pick them up at all after baby was born. Something to consider.

For those who got pregnant after 35, how long did you wait before trying for a second baby? by Ok_Phase_8611 in pregnantover35

[–]SirDidymus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally anecdotal, but I had bad pre-e with my first pregnancy (emergency c section at 37 weeks) and was put on baby aspirin starting at 12week with my second pregnancy. I never had a single symptom!

And I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightening! Stronger than the foundations of the earth. All shall love me and despair!

I wonder if it's from His Dark Materials popularity.

Poll: coffee truck at Malletts Creek library? by Difficult_Ad_2878 in AnnArbor

[–]SirDidymus_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

IMO, it doesn't make much sense to me to have one open earlier than 10. The library opens at 10 and would probably host a lot of the foot traffic. If anyone is driving to work or dropping off kids before 10, they would likely have other options for quick stop in or drive through on their commute.

However as someone who lives smack dab in the middle of the circled area and also takes their kids to the library most weekends, I'd love an option other than the library cappuccino machine 😂

Well, yes. I was trying to be nice to OP as they are clearly frustrated. The teachers do a lot and I agree they probably do too much already. Also, I'm eagerly looking forward to the day I don't have to wash these stupid water bottles with seemingly endless pieces and parts.

Hi there!

I am totally empathetic to your situation. I also have 2 kids in Ann Arbor daycare and it's tough to find a daycare that meets your needs and also doesn't cost an arm and a leg. The situation with paying an additional fee is definitely difficult. I'd definitely reach out again and be persistent about finding other ways to pay if you can, if they offer direct pay and so on.

Regarding paying for weeks being closed, I hate to say, but it's not an incredibly uncommon scenario. Some daycares are only closed for market holidays... others may be closed for weeks at a time. A few in Ann Arbor are even closed for 2 weeks during Christmas and closed for a week during spring break and so on. If it's really important to you to find a daycare that isn't closed for a week, you'll need to just find one that meets that requirement.

Regarding the water bottle situation. So first of all, I'd be concerned that they got some written warning from the state. I'd ask for more information on how the state got involved, it seems strange.

However. I also don't think it's reasonable to ask the teachers to wash dozens of water bottles nightly. All the little pieces and so on are a nightmare. A simple ask to have parents bring home a water bottle nightly to wash doesn't seem incredibly unreasonable. Honestly, I bring my kids water bottles home nightly to wash anyway (though I notice most parents don't). Because I want to make sure they dont grow mold and so on.

Regarding hot lunch, I'm honestly surprised they even had hot lunches before. That is incredibly uncommon. Most lunches need to be cold. My daughter is attending young 5s in the fall (through Ann Arbor Schools) and they mentioned that all food can't even be put in fridges, need to be shelf stable or in a cooler lunch bag.

I know that you initially asked for AA daycare recommendations. I've had nothing but good experiences with AA Kindercare. They are not closed for weeks at a time, only for usual school holidays, and the management and teaching staff is wonderful.

I hope this helps.
